Are you kidding me? I know a team can do whatever they want but isn't this a bit much.
I Believe and bet you do as well....IF THEY WERE PLAYING US THEY WOULDN'T REST THEIR STARTERS no matter what the record.

Actually, two of the players -- defensive end Dwight Freeney and defensive back Antoine Bethea -- would have missed practice in order to rest.
So 27 of 53 wouldn't have practiced due to injury, which is 50.9 percent.
The list comes less than a day after team president Bill Polian vowed to rest all injured players during the coming three-week postseason preseason, and on the same day that coach Jim Caldwell said he only would hold players out of Thursday night's game if there is a "health issue."

29 Colts show up on injury report

It's Monday, which means that the teams who'll play on Thursday must submit a list of the players whose ability to participate in practice today were affected by injuries
But since the teams who'll play on Thursday also played on Sunday, they don't practice on Monday.
Still, the injury report must be respected (except when fudging it). And so teams have to estimate whether players would have practiced if there had been practice.
And if there had been practice for the Colts today, they might have needed to borrow a few players from Purdue; 29 of 53 men on the active roster would not have practiced.
That's 54.7 percent of the entire team.
